"Rochester Cathedral and Castle 1820-30" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Frederick Nash (1782–1856), known for his architectural and topographical works. The painting depicts the historic Rochester Cathedral and the ruins of Rochester Castle, significant landmarks in the town of Rochester, Kent, England. Created during the 1820s, a period when Nash was at the height of his artistic career, the artwork captures the medieval structures with a high degree of detail and atmospheric effect, characteristic of Nash's mature style.

The cathedral, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a prominent example of Norman and Gothic architecture, with its origins dating back to the establishment of a bishopric by King Ethelbert of Kent in AD 604. The castle, known for its Norman keep, was a strategic fortification during the medieval period. Nash's rendering of these edifices provides a historical record of their appearance in the early 19th century, a time when the British public was increasingly interested in the nation's past and architectural heritage.

Nash's work is significant for its contribution to the Romantic era's appreciation of Britain's medieval past and its role in the burgeoning field of picturesque tourism. His attention to the play of light and shadow, as well as the inclusion of figures in period attire, adds life to the scene and invites the viewer to contemplate the passage of time. "Rochester Cathedral and Castle 1820-30" not only showcases Nash's technical skill as a watercolorist but also serves as a visual document of the early 19th-century English landscape and its historical monuments. The painting is a testament to Nash's reputation as one of the foremost architectural artists of his time and reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the Regency and early Victorian periods.
